摘要
活性氧和活性氮加重老年人的内皮功能障碍,并导致心血管疾病的发展,例如动脉粥样硬化、糖尿病和高血压。1951年,α-硫辛酸被认为是一种促进丙酮酸和α-酮戊二酸氧化脱羧的催化剂,从而受到了化学家、生物学家和临床医师的深入研究,这些专家们对它在能量代谢中的作用和防止活性氧诱发的线粒体功能障碍的作用感兴趣。因此,α-硫辛酸补充剂的许多生物学效用可能由α-硫辛酸和二氢α-硫辛酸强有力的抗氧化性能引起。细胞内部的还原环境能有助于防止氧化损伤,α-硫辛酸的氧化还原状态取决于处在氧化状态下的细胞组件的氧化程度。尽管健康的年轻人可以合成足够的α-硫辛酸来清除活性氧和增强内源性抗氧化剂如谷胱甘肽和维生素C和E,α-硫辛酸的水平随着年龄的增长而显著降低,这可能导致内皮功能障碍。此外,许多研究报道了α-硫辛酸能调节与抗氧化和抗炎途径相关的基因的转录。这篇综述,我们将讨论最近关于探索α-硫辛酸在血管内皮功能障碍方面的有益作用的临床研究,并提出可能的参与机制。

摘要: Reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species promote endothelial dysfunction in old ageand contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and hypertension. α-lipoic acid was identified as a catalytic agent for oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate in 1951, and it has been studied intensively by chemists, biologists, and clinicians who have been interested in its role in energetic metabolism and protection from reactive oxygen species-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Consequently, many biological effects of α- lipoic acid supplementation can be attributed to the potent antioxidant properties of α-lipoic acid and dihydro α-lipoic acid. The reducing environments inside the cell help to protect from oxidative damage and the reduction-oxidation status of α-lipoic acid is dependent upon the degree to which the cellular components are found in the oxidized state. Although healthy young humans can synthesize enough α-lipoic acid to scavenge reactive oxygen species and enhance endogenous antioxidants like glutathione and vitamins C and E, the level of α-lipoic acid significantly declines with age and this may lead to endothelial dysfunction. Furthermore, many studies have reported α-lipoic acid can regulate the transcription of genes associated with anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways. In this review, we will discuss recent clinical studies that have investigated the beneficial effects of α-lipoic acid on endothelial dysfunction and propose possible mechanisms involved.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
